Overview

The Role of the Legal Nurse Consultant in Mediation: Bridge to Justice opens the door for both attorneys and legal nurse practitioners (LNCs) to learn in depth about a powerful alternative to costly and often drawn-out court cases. As an LNC, do you feel that you have the ability to help resolve conflicts between people? Are you able to listen impartially to both sides of a dispute? If so, you may have a future as a mediator. If you're an attorney, do you wish you could hire a competent, empathetic, and neutral person to manage conflict resolution in a mediation setting? This book describes how an LNC, a practitioner skilled in clinical nursing, deeply familiar with medical terminology, can fulfill that wish. Jaimee Gerrie, an LNC, mediator, and mediator trainer, speaks to both attorneys and LNCs when she shares what she's learned in her career as a mediator. She emphasizes that nurses have been trained to act as mediators. They may mediate between physicians and patients, fellow nurses, and other members of the medical community. As LNCs, they are familiar with a wide range of medical-legal issues. She brings her descriptions of the mediation process to life through the story of a complex medical-legal case that required sensitive and intuitive mediation. In so doing, she illustrates that neutrality is a principal aspect of mediation. The mediator's job is to listen to both sides and study body language and other subtle indications about how well the mediation is going. In addition, the author provides detailed information about how to train as a mediator, what that training involves, and different kinds of specialization within the field. There has never been a better time to consider this career. With the mounting backup of court cases and the high cost of conducting a trial, wise attorneys will consider engaging in the mediation process. LNCs who want to enter this expanding field will learn exactly how to begin. The Role of the Legal Nurse Consultant in Mediation: Bridge to Justice will make a valuable and unique addition to your professional library. Get it today.
